Florida among biggest movers in CBS Sports' re-rank after Texas upset

Florida football’s dramatic 27-24 road victory over the seventh-ranked Texas Longhorns in Week 7 sent shockwaves through college football rankings, vaulting the Gators back into multiple top-25 lists after a single week out. The upset—coming as a 10.5-point underdog—propelled Florida into the AP Poll’s top 20 for the first time since a loss to South Carolina, landing at No.

20 while Texas plummeted to No. 19.

The win also restored Florida’s standing in ESPN’s power rankings, USA TODAY Sports’ re-rank, The Athletic’s SEC vibes rankings (where they jumped five spots into the top five), and the US LBM Coaches Poll, underscoring the Gators’ defensive resilience and first-time starter quarterback Tramell Jones Jr.’s leadership. Meanwhile, Texas’s collapse marked one of the most significant single-week drops in recent memory, as the Longhorns fell across all major polls following the embarrassing defeat.

With Florida’s season now stabilized and Texas’s dominance disrupted, the SEC’s power dynamics have shifted overnight, leaving analysts scrambling to recalibrate expectations for both programs heading into the final stretch.
